DVD Problem

[Champion of Europa]

I am having a problem playing DVDs on my computer.

I have PowerDVD 4.0 installed, but when I put the DVD into the only drive I have on my computer, it says nothing is in the disc drive.

I have Windows XP, btw, if that helps.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Try re-installing the drivers for the player. If that doesn't work, the drive might just be ****ed up. :(

yeah if powerdvd don't work try another program like windvd and see what happens :) Does this problem occur for every dvd?

Yeah, it happens with every DVD.

Also, PowerDVD is the only thing I can afford.

Triple A, how do I go about doing what you talked about?

well is the dvd-rom or whatever even recognizing the dvd itself at all?

what you mean you can only afford powerdvd? your actually buy the programs :\

Find out what kind of DVD drive it is, like the brand, and go to the brand's website, and DL the drivers for it.

Nope, not recognizing it.

I put the DVD in and it says that there is nothing in my E Drive.

When you open Power DVD does it have a setting where you give it the location of the dvd?

or when you look in my computer does the DVD drive indicate that there is a dvd in it without opening PowerDVD up?

Like someone said you may have to reinstall the DVD drive itself. It may simply need cleaning.
